'Join us in this simple day of (in)action to celebrate the life of St George the Immigrant on St George's Day, April 23rd.'
'His father was born a Greek, travelled to the city of Lod in Palestine, where he served in the Roman army and married a local girl. As a young man, George himself emigrated to Turkey, joined the army there, and did very well for himself, rising to the high rank of Tribunus.'
Emily Dugan, Social Affairs correspondent of the Independent Newspaper wants to write a piece about this. She wants to speak to people taking part, particularly those who are migrants themselves.
Contact e.dugan@independent.co.uk to tell her why you are taking part.
Patron saint of Bulgaria, among other places.
